    Co-founder by legal title (obtained as part of a settlement), not by, you know, co-founding.

    Like how he’s the chief engineer of SpaceX. With no qualifications.

    Oh well, at least his Path of Exile account was probably legit. /s

      This makes it worse IMO. What a fucking loser poser. So desperate for acknowledgement that he needs to steal it through litigation.

      Imagine if someone said “I don’t have any knowledge or expertise in this area but I really believed in what these guys were doing and I could see their capacity for greatness so I chose to support their endeavors”. There’s certainly no shame in that.

        I think it would be fine if someone said that and started something.

        Elon only started space x though. He’s just been a winey bitch with cash in every other scenario
